I've been wearing my Breitling Chrono SuperOcean for about two years and just noticed something weird. When I try to change the day of the week and or date, sometimes they get stuck and won't roll. I'm not sure what I am supposed to do about this. I tricked the watch by just rotating the time through a 24 hr period, but now my day of the week switches at midnight (as it did the day I bought it) but my date (number) switches at 3am. Did I totally eff up the watch? What do I do? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks for your help.

I think you need to visit your AD. As far as I know you cant fix that yourself...

90+ % of these problems are related to a damaged date wheel, and the majority of those are caused by use of the quick set date (or winding time backwards) between 8pm and 3am.

Definitely an AD fix.

Should I stop wearing the watch? I will not be able to get to the AD where I bought the watch for another 2 months. Or will any AD service it? Thanks again.

As long as you have the paperwork any AD can arrange for it to be fixed (though it may need to go to Breitling).

You aren't going to make it worse by wearing it - but avoid using the quick set date or winding time backwards between 8pm and 3am indicated time.
